The Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol, by its decision 13/CMP.1, requested the secretariat to begin publishing annual compilation and accounting reports after completion of the initial review under Article 8 of the Kyoto Protocol and resolution of any question of implementation. Accordingly, the secretariat began publishing the report in 2008, which contained only the initial accounting parameters. Since 2009, the document, in addition to the key initial accounting parameters, has also contained annual information on: (a) total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the sources listed in Annex A to the Kyoto Protocol; (b) GHG emissions and removals from land use, land-use change and forestry activities under Article 3, paragraph 3, of the Kyoto Protocol, and elected activities under Article 3, paragraph 4, of the Kyoto Protocol; and (c) transactions and holdings of Kyoto Protocol units. Part of the information contained in this document is based on information recorded in the compilation and accounting database. There are also other parts of information which is based on the 2011 Parties' submission, as at 24 October 2011; this information is provisional. Final values will become available after completion of the annual review for 2011 and resolution of any questions of implementation
